German Chocolate Cake from Sweet Celebrations by Poonam Talreja.

It's so good to have some super talented home baker friends around you, and it's a double whammy when they call you to inform about their newest creation and send it over for tasting!

You taste it, get amazed, have a detail discussion regarding the profiles, the interesting new ingredients that have been used and the way how new flavours are paired. That's the best part of it!

So, here it is, German Chocolate Cake, the latest creation from Sweet Celebration by my super talented friend and an accomplished home baker Ms Poonam Talreja. 

We had a discussion a couple of days back about this cake that she had in her mind since November. Earlier she planned to send this on my birthday, but somehow it couldn't happen that time. But now with right ingredients and after some experimenting with different level of texture and flavour pairing, she finally achieved the desired result.

Now, coming to the cake's texture and flavour. The chocolate used in the base sponge and for the Ganache is of extremely high quality, and that gave a delicious prime flavour of this chocolate cake.

On the top, a thick layer of coconut based cream was used along with walnuts and tiny chocolate swirls. I found a thin layer of the same coconut based cream with almonds in middle of the base sponge also. I'm not divulging much about the ingredients used as Poonam likes to keep them as little secrets in this extremely competitive market of Home Bakers in Udaipur.

The flavour pairing was delicious, and I found it pretty exciting to try.

Overall, a highly recommended Chocolate Cake and definitely a new showstopper from the house
